It has been shown previously in various organisms that the peroxin PEX14 is a component of a docking complex at the peroxisomalmembrane,where it is involved in the import of matrix proteins into the organelle after their synthesis in the cytosol and recognition by a receptor. Here we present a characterization of theTrypanosoma bruceihomologue of PEX14. It is shown that the protein is associated with gly-cosomes,the peroxisome-like organelles of trypanosomatids in which most glycolytic enzymes are compartmentalized
